A webinar is a video which features a representative from a university, college or apprenticeship providers talking about a topic such as how to write a personal statement, taking an apprenticeship, or student finance. Our webinars will be taking place in the Auditorium, and they will be 25 minutes long. During the webinar, the representative will talk you through the topic and tell you a little more about their university, college or company. If you watch the webinar live, you will have the chance to ask questions in the chat. All of our webinars will be recorded, so if you miss one you can view the recording in the Auditorium later on too, but you will be unable to ask questions.
You do not need to book our webinars to view them. You can view them live in the auditorium on Wednesday 15 June or watch the recorded versions until Wednesday 22 June. After 22 June you can stream all of the webinars on StudentStream.
You can ask questions in the chat during the live webinar, and a representative for the university, college or apprenticeship provider will try to answer your question. You can only ask questions during the 25 minutes the webinar is live, so if you are viewing a recorded webinar you will not be able to ask questions, only watch the video.
A webcam is not required at any point during the event. The webinars in the Auditorium are one-way, so you do not need a webcam or a microphone to view these.
